Chapter 83 [VIP] Best Friend's Shield (21)

Fu Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he didn't know how to describe how he felt at the moment.

Maybe it was complicated. In order to stabilize Wanrou's emotions, and also because of a momentary guilt, he agreed to her request, but he couldn't give her what she wanted, which led to the current dilemma...

Fu Qingzhou stayed with her in the hospital all night until noon the next day. He hurriedly bought some toiletries and some light porridge nearby and brought them to the hospital. He was worried that she had slept too long and would be hungry when she woke up without anything to eat, so he bought some breakfast and also bought some dry clothes for her to change into.

He was away for just a short while, but when he returned to the hospital and walked to the door of the ward, he heard a mess of vases and teacups falling to the ground and breaking, accompanied by Wanrou's desperate cry, "Go away...all of you go away..."

At the door, nurses were trying their best to comfort her, "Miss, Miss, please calm down. This is a hospital!"

"Don't come in! I told you not to come in! Who asked you to come in? Get out! All of you, get out..."

Fu Qingzhou didn't know what happened, but when he heard Wanrou's face change immediately, he didn't have time to think about it. He rushed forward and looked through the window at the situation inside the house. "What's wrong? What happened here?"

Seeing the patient's family members coming back, several nurses breathed a sigh of relief at the same time and pulled Fu Qingzhou to the front, "Sir, you're back just in time. Hurry up and persuade your girlfriend. The patient just woke up and is in a very unstable mood."

Fu Qingzhou was also a little anxious for a moment, "Why did it turn out like this? You really didn't do anything to her?"

"We didn't do anything. This lady just woke up like this and refused to let us in."

After confirming that it was not their fault, Fu Qingzhou turned around and saw the chaos in the ward and Wanrou, who had woken up but was completely emotionally broken. He could only patiently ask, "Wanrou, tell me, what happened? Only if you tell us can we help you."

Fang Wanrou stopped crying when she heard his voice and became even more nervous in an instant.

Her face turned pale, and she almost subconsciously leaned against the door to prevent him from coming in. Her other hand was still tightly covering her eyes, and she was trembling. She even accidentally poked the wound several times because she couldn't see clearly.

It was at this time that Fu Qingzhou realized that something was wrong with her, and his expression suddenly became more serious. "Wanrou, open the door first, let me see the injuries on your face, tell me what's wrong, are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

Fang Wanrou just cried, she turned her back to him and refused to say a word, her face full of pain and despair.

Fu Qingzhou became increasingly impatient. "Wanrou, open the door first! If there is any problem, we can solve it together."

At this time, the original attending doctor rushed over and explained the situation to him in general, "The patient may have vision problems. After the car accident yesterday, the scar from the forehead to the corner of the eye is the deepest and most serious. It is a ruptured cornea after a severe injury, so the patient's mood is so unstable."

"Ruptured cornea?"

Fu Qingzhou repeated it subconsciously. He understood what the word meant without the doctor's explanation. If it was only slightly damaged, then it might be repaired. But if it was severely ruptured, did it mean that she would most likely go blind?

When Fu Qingzhou thought of this result, his heart skipped a beat. For a moment, he felt his brain was a little confused, and his throat became increasingly dry as if it was blocked by something.

He looked up at the doctor, his eyes full of questions, "Why wasn't it detected yesterday? There were so many people yesterday, why didn't anyone detect this problem?"

"It's true that the hospital didn't do a thorough examination, but there are some car accident complications that the hospital can't completely rule out..."

The doctors and nurses also looked a little embarrassed. This was indeed their problem, but in fact the machine could not fully detect the extent of the patient's physical injuries. Many times, it was necessary to see the patient's condition after waking up to determine the extent of the injury.

Fang Wanrou's mood was very unstable at the moment. She curled up in a corner, holding her head tightly with both hands, looking helpless and pitiful.

Fu Qingzhou really couldn't just leave her like this. He asked the doctors and nurses around to leave first, and stood at the door. He slowed down his voice and kept trying to comfort her, "Wanrou, can you open the door first? We can solve any problems together. No one can help you like this."

Fang Wanrou cried and shook her head, not even daring to look up at him, fearing that she would be disliked for her current appearance. "No one can really help me. I am now, Qingzhou... do you know? I am now... blind, I am a useless person. From now on, no one will be willing to want me, and no one will care about me anymore. Even the Fang family is going to give up on me..."

"Go away, hurry up and go... Just pretend nothing happened between us! I don't want you to see me like this! I don't want you to see me in such a pitiful state!"

The more Fang Wanrou spoke, the more her emotions broke down. In the end, she couldn't control herself and burst into tears, her voice filled with fear and terror.

After hearing what she said, Fu Qingzhou felt guilty and sad, especially when he saw how wounded she was. He felt that the guilt surging in his heart was about to drown him.

He felt very sorry for her...

After hesitating for a moment, Fu Qingzhou seemed to have made a decision in his heart. His throat felt more and more blocked and uncomfortable, and he suddenly said in a hoarse voice, "No, it doesn't matter if the Fang family gives up on you. I will still be with you..."

"I will never leave you, have you forgotten? I promised you that I would always be with you."

Fang Wanrou seemed a little stunned after hearing what he said. She slowly raised her head, tears in her eyes, and slowly looked towards Fu Qingzhou at the door, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

“You really…”

She couldn't believe it, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Fu Qingzhou spent a long time and finally opened the door. He was afraid of irritating her again, so he could only slowly approach her and carefully hold her in his arms. "Don't cry. Medical technology is very advanced now. If it can't be cured in China, we will go abroad. Anyway... I will always be with you."

Hearing this, Fang Wanrou almost subconsciously grabbed his arm, her nails digging into his skin with such force, her eyes full of tension and anticipation.

"Qingzhou...are you really willing to stay with me forever?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Qingzhou nodded slightly and said "hmm".

As he spoke, he reached out and held her shoulders, trying to help her sit on the bed.

But Fang Wanrou refused to move. She stared at him with wide eyes, tears still welling up in her eyes. "Then shall we get married? Qingzhou, let's get married when I'm discharged from the hospital, okay?"

She said this carefully.

Hearing this, Fu Qingzhou's body paused slightly. He looked directly into Wanrou's eyes, which showed tension, anxiety, panic, and helplessness. It was as if if he said no, she would collapse into complete despair...

But he instinctively felt a sense of rejection in his heart. He suppressed his discomfort and tried to comfort her, "Wanrou, marriage is not a trivial matter. We..."

"I know! I know that getting married is not a trivial matter, but this is what I have always been looking forward to."

Fang Wanrou's emotions suddenly became excited.

She suddenly felt very confused. She had become like this, but he still refused to agree?

As she spoke, tears began to fall again. Her face turned pale and her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably. "Will you promise me? Qingzhou, I really have nothing now. You are all I have left. Please don't leave me..."

Hearing this, Fu Qingzhou seemed to sigh softly, and seeing her pitiful expression, he finally reached out and hugged her whole body into his arms.

"Okay, I promise..."

Fang Wanrou, who was originally crying, seemed to be stunned after hearing these words. Then she reacted and a surprised and bright smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

"You...you really agreed and you didn't lie to me?"

"……no."

Fang Wanrou burst into tears and laughter at once. She turned around and hugged his neck tightly, burying her entire face in his neck, and said with joy,

"I know, I know... you still can't bear to part with me."

Fu Qingzhou was silent for a long time before responding in a low voice.

"Well, don't be sad anymore. Let the doctor come in and see what the situation is. No matter what the final outcome is, I... will always be with you."

Fang Wanrou nodded in agreement and let him carry her to the bed, but her hands were still tightly holding Fu Qingzhou's arms and she refused to let go for a moment, as if she was afraid that he would disappear as soon as she let go.

…

The news that Fang Wanrou had suffered vision problems in her right eye due to a car accident quickly spread from the hospital.

Some families that originally wanted to marry into the Fang family gave up the idea after hearing the news. The Fang family had no choice. After all, it was a business marriage, and not everyone would not mind the defect on his daughter's eyes.

Because of this incident, the Fang family's attitude towards Fu Qingzhou finally softened a lot.

Perhaps a friend in need is a friend indeed, and time reveals a person's true character. Only at times like this can one see a person's true character. At times like this, he was the only one who stayed by Wanrou's side, taking care of her and never leaving her side.

方家人也不是傻子，按方婉柔現在的情況，聯姻是不可能的了，何況就算真跟某個家族聯姻了，時間久了也會遭受男方的嫌棄跟欺負。

最重要的，目前方家有□□的援助，資金短缺問題已經解決，沒有了後顧之憂，還不如順水推舟。

既讓婉柔有了一個好歸宿，保證以後不會被人欺負，同時也維護了曾經的臉面，畢竟這二人原本就是情侶，如果不是傅家出的事，他當初也不可能反對兩人在一起。

說到底，這都是命！該在一起的人，不管他怎麽反對阻攔，終究還是在一起了。

而在另一邊，等南嫣聽到兩人出車禍的消息時，已經是三天後了。

這三天裏她給傅清舟發了很多消息，也打了很多個電話，但對面卻始終都沒有回應，一直到第三天，她才從房東那裏得知了傅清舟一直在醫院的事情。

了解到事情的前因後果，又得知方婉柔是因為傅清舟才受的傷之後，南嫣輕笑了聲，估摸着這個世界大概也要結束了。

就是不知道傅清舟最後會怎麽選？

收拾好情緒，想到接下來或許會面對的情況，她又去廚房熬了一些滋補身體的排骨湯，準備去醫院看看兩人情況怎麽樣了。

這麽想着，南嫣又淺嘗了下剛煮好的燙，确定味道還可以之後，便仔細地用保溫盒裝好，這才出了門。

在快要到醫院的時候，她又忍不住給傅清舟打了個電話，只是一如既往地，對面還是沒有人接。

而在另一邊，當鈴聲再次響起的時候，傅清舟跟方婉柔幾乎是同時看向了手機。

看着屏幕上熟悉的號碼，傅清舟心中微微一陣刺痛，心中忽然生出一種克制不住的沖動，他想去接。

但一轉身，看到婉柔有些發白的臉色，還有眼中的害怕不安的情緒後，猶豫了一瞬，最終還是選擇挂掉了電話。

方婉柔看到他最終的選擇後，終于松了口氣，但眼圈還是忍不住有些泛紅，她知道自己這麽做很自私，可是她真的不能放手了，她小心翼翼地試圖去握他的手。

但卻被他不着痕跡地避開了。

方婉柔鼻間泛酸，心中有些委屈。

但傅清舟卻拍了拍她的肩膀，輕聲安慰着，“好了，你先休息會兒，我下樓去給你買些吃的，別擔心，我很快就會回來。”

方婉柔抿了抿唇，想說些什麽，但最終還是什麽都沒說，點頭同意了。

而在另一邊的南嫣，已經到了醫院大廳了，因為不知道病房的具體信息，只能在前臺一個一個問。

“那個……你能幫我查一下嗎？”

“……有個叫傅清舟的病人，也可能是叫方婉柔的，應該是三天前車禍送過來的，我不知道病房在哪？”

也就在她追着前臺小心翼翼問個不停地時候，電梯門突然“叮”地一聲開了。

傅清舟一擡頭便看到不遠處拎着保溫盒的南嫣，再見到她的那一瞬間，不知為何，心頭居然不受控制地一顫。

“你在這裏做什麽？”

僅這一聲便讓南嫣的動作瞬間停了。

聽到傅清舟的聲音，南嫣的身體輕輕一顫，立馬就轉頭看向身後的人，兩人的目光瞬間對上了，她嘴唇動了動，眼中仿佛不受控制地氤氲出了一層水光。

她下意識地往前走了幾步，又因為想到什麽，不敢太靠近他，只在他面前半米遠的距離就停住了，然後小心翼翼地看着他的臉色，“我……我來找你。”

大概是沒料到兩人會直接在這裏遇上，她有些局促不安地捏緊了手指，

“我聽說……你出車禍了，有些擔心，所以就找到了醫院，想看看你到底怎麽樣了？”

傅清舟不知道此刻的心裏是什麽感覺，只是看着她這麽不安的模樣，便只覺得胸口像是被什麽東西刺了一下似的，緊接着便是一陣密密麻麻的疼痛不斷在胸口蔓延開來，讓他呼吸有些不順。

他不知道她現在是不是又想騙他了？

明明才三天沒見而已！

她臉色怎麽就蒼白成那樣了？下巴也尖了，就連看他的眼神也變得那麽小心翼翼，好像他做了什麽不可饒恕的事情一樣，可明明犯錯的人是她，為什麽現在看起來倒像是他欺負了她一樣？

傅清舟盡量讓自己的聲音聽上去比較正常，但喉間的酸澀還是讓他的聲音變得有些沙啞，“我沒事，受傷的是婉柔。”

聽到他這麽說，南嫣似乎松了一口氣，結果一不小心就将心裏的話說出來了，

“那就好，你沒事就好……”

說完，又意識到有些不對，這麽說好像她盼着出事的就是婉柔一樣，生怕他又誤會了什麽，便趕忙解釋着，

“不是，你別誤會了，我不是這個意思，我是想問，婉柔傷得怎麽樣了，嚴重嗎？”

她急得臉色有些發紅，甚至都不敢擡頭看他一眼，兩根手指都快将那個保溫盒摳出一個洞來了。

傅清舟的目光下意識地就落在了她的手指上，看她指尖發紅還有些細微的劃痕，頓時就皺了眉，原本是不想去在意的，但嘴裏卻不受控制地問了句，“你手怎麽了？”

南嫣愣了一瞬，随後低頭看到手上的一些燙傷，手指下意識地蜷縮了下，“沒什麽，不小心燙了一下而已。對了，這個是我剛煲好的燙，還是熱的，可以滋補身體，你跟婉柔可以多喝一點，對身體很有好處。”

她說着便将手裏的保溫盒遞了過去，臉上下意識地露出一個局促的笑，眼裏滿是期盼和緊張，生怕他不肯收下一樣。

傅清舟只覺得胸口愈發悶得難受了。

他不知道該說些什麽，他是很生氣她跟江紹言聯合起來騙他，可看着她這麽小心翼翼的樣子，心底頓時有種說不出的酸澀。

南嫣還在看着他。

傅清舟輕吐了一口氣，胸口的苦悶酸脹情緒不僅沒有消散，反倒積攢的越來越多了，他伸出手，剛想從她手裏接過保溫盒。

結果身後卻突然傳來了婉柔的聲音。

“清舟，你在做什麽？”

傅清舟的手下意識地一顫，原本握在手中的保溫盒一個沒抓穩，直接“砰”地一聲就摔到了地上，裏面的湯更是全灑出來了，有大半甚至全灑在了南嫣的褲腿上，她被燙得往後一退，眼眶也是瞬間就紅了。

傅清舟心中一緊，剛想上去看看她的燙傷怎麽樣了，身後的婉柔卻在這時走到了他身旁。

她眼中有些不好意思，下意識地伸手去撿地上的保溫盒，卻被傅清舟一把拉住了手腕。

“別碰！很燙，待會我來處理。”

聽到這句話時，南嫣面色蒼白地看了他一眼，嘴唇動了動，似乎想說些什麽，但卻覺得喉嚨被什麽堵住了似的，一句話都說不出來。

而方婉柔有些尴尬地看了兩人一眼，然後收了手，只說了句，“對不起啊，我不是故意的，我不知道你們在……”

傅清舟拉着方婉柔的手，将她往後推開了幾步，防止她再被燙傷，“沒關系，跟你沒關系，是我自己沒拿穩。”

南嫣看着兩人之間格外默契的互動，尤其是傅清舟對她下意識地維護，只覺得胸口像被塊巨石重重壓住了似的，那滋味太難受了，讓她甚至連呼吸，都會忍不住泛起一陣刺痛。

“你、你們這是……”

她的聲音聽上去很沙啞，甚至有些哽咽了。

傅清舟原本牽着方婉柔的手頓時松開了，而方婉柔則像是什麽都沒察覺到一樣，她朝南嫣露出一個略帶些歉意但又很幸福的微笑，“南嫣，我跟清舟已經決定要結婚了。”

“……結婚？”

聽到這句話時，南嫣一時間只覺得大腦一片混沌，整個身體都有些站不穩了。

她眼睛怔怔地望着一旁的傅清舟，似乎還不肯相信，可她看了好一會兒，他都沒有開口反駁的意思時，眼眶中積蓄已久的眼淚，幾乎是瞬間就不受控制地就落下來了。

胸口好像被人生生挖走了一塊似的，疼得她連身體都有些微微顫抖起來了。

“你、你們……真的，要結婚了？”

看着南嫣這副表情，傅清舟幾乎下意識地就往前了一步，他捏緊了手指，心底忽然生出一種想抱抱她的沖動。

偏偏這時，婉柔卻搶先應了聲，她臉上的笑容很滿足，“嗯，清舟已經答應我了，出院後我們就準備結婚了。”

說完，她又想到了什麽，擡頭看了南嫣一眼，突然有些不好意思地開口道，“那個……南嫣，我知道這個要求可能有些過分，但我還是希望，到時候，你來給我們當伴娘好不好？”

……當伴娘？

南嫣只覺得匪夷所思，她眼淚流着流着突然就笑了聲，像是要維護自己最後的一點尊嚴似的，手指輕顫着擦了把臉上的眼淚，然後看着傅清舟問，

“你也希望我給你當伴娘嗎？”

她聲音裏隐約帶了些輕顫。

For a moment, Fu Qingzhou felt his throat tighten and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Especially seeing that her cheeks were completely bloodless and almost transparent, she seemed to be on the verge of emotional collapse.

Then he subconsciously said, "It's up to you. If you don't want to..."

“It doesn’t matter!”

Nan Yan interrupted him at this moment.

She looked up at him, and although she was smiling at him, tears began to flow uncontrollably.

"It's okay. I can be your bridesmaid. When the time comes... I will dress up beautifully and come to your wedding."
